The New Zealand Parliament has voted to repeal the Clean Car Discount scheme, known as the “ute tax.” The law, aimed at promoting lower-emission vehicles by offering discounts on imports, will be officially repealed from December 31. The scheme faced criticism from the National and ACT parties, which argued it was unfair, particularly for groups like farmers who lacked viable low-emission alternatives to utility vehicles. The repeal was part of the government’s recent legislative actions under urgency.
